5 Send me an e-male = Florentin s Homonyms = Preface: A homonym is a word that has the same (sonorous or graphic) form, but different meanings. There are two types of homonyms: a) Those that have the same pronunciation (sounds) but different spellings and meanings, which are called homophones, such as flower and flour. This feature is called homophony. b) And those that have the same graphic (spellings) and pronunciation but different 4

6 meaning, which are called homographs, as in plane ( aircraft vs. geometric surface ). This feature is called homography. There also exist homophenes, words which are visually identical on seen on the lips, but with different meanings, as van and fan [D. Crystal, An Encyclopedic Dictionary of Language and Languages, 1992]. However, they are not the object of this presentation. As follows: - I teach you how not to write, using homonyms, and how to create upside-down!... entangling grammar and language rules, defying orthography loving mistakes - with tongue hindering; - ambiguities of words and senses (homonymic clash); - afterwards sentences with two or more homonymic forms put together either as separate homonymic phrase, or as a chain of homonyms; - don t forget the eternal humor which helps as 5
